SPIRITUALITY VOLUME 29 NOVEMBER 2018
Jesus the Forgotten Feminist Chris Geraghty delves into scriptures and history showing how Jesus practised a radically inclusive approach to women that challenged the inequitable beliefs and practices of his own culture and community. This learned, humorous, irreverent book reminds us that Jesus was a feminist and argues that the Church must repent and honour this in order to restore women’s place as fully equal to men in the Church.

Archways to the Infinite Peter Murnane says we cannot claim to be in harmony with the Transcendent - serving God - if we are not also striving to make the world a more just place. He argues that caring for the earth connects us to the infinite just as much as our own relationships do.

The birth of Jesus is one of the best-known stories in the Gospels, and yet often adults do not think about or read the text as adults. They carry with them childhood memories that may be inaccurate, according to the text, and miss the deep theological purpose of these two narratives. If we only read the “surface” story of the nativity, we fail to understand the rich introductions to the person and ministry of the adult Jesus.
